Not much luck with this, as expected lol, but I have another one to see if it's out there somewhere now :D

The engine from my LH. It's a factory Barbados Green 253 SL/R. Original engine number HR9454

My Absinth 18V 253 4 speed van ...

Sold from Dalby QLD

Original engine number QR824519

Engine long gone I would assume so will be fitting a 308

If it did get found I would be interested though..

Thanks to V8Van for starting off this thread it is a great idea....

I live in Dalby. Johnsons are the Holden and Nissan dealers. They service my SS Thunder ute.

I'll see what I can do.

How can you tell if the original engine is in the vehicle or not?

**Valencia** · 12-05-2013, 01:57 PM

Byron will be around soon and tell you but i think the number on the skinny tag has something to do with it dont quote me on that

**HK1837** · 12-05-2013, 03:31 PM

You can't always tell. Holden have Service/Warranty microfiche that about 60-70% of the time lists the engine that was in the car when it left the dealer.
